Pros

The benefits package as a whole is very competitive.

Cons

Unfortunately, Methanex does a great job of painting a "One Team" picture from the outside. Once you are in the organization, that façade starts to crack. People who have been there for several years have become very disillusioned and bitter. The SMT (Site Management Team) sends out surveys, asks the right questions and puts on the right face. But, when it comes to action, they just cannot seem to take a good look in the mirror. They have let their best talent go (voluntarily and involuntarily), and still can't accept that they are at the head of the problem. Vacancies stay high - word has traveled around the area that the Geismar site is highly toxic. Speaking up has consequences. Employees are singled out and made examples of. The company as a whole has a great culture message and theme - it just does not exist at the Geismar location.

Pros

Methanex has excellent benefits available.

Cons

The culture is toxic. Geismar management puts an emphasis on appearances and outward visibility, not results or problem solving. This lack of leadership has created an environment that fails to reflect the companies “core values” . Vacancies are hard to fill because potential employees are well aware of the Methanex reputation for having a toxic atmosphere. Don’t expect work/life balance.
